Ughh...Ed Boon pushing for an Injustice movie

[Krypto's Fleas]

As if the character can withstand another "Superman is bad, Batman is good" story that targets general audiences. It would just give Batman fanboys another data point that Batman is better and can beat Supes' ass. I hope Injustice and TDKR never get film adaptations. And for that matter, Red Son too.

I think people had a discussion on this already in the bendis thread. Might want to check it out.

So upsetting. Those people pushing for evil Superman stories have no idea who the character is. Ugh.

It's the last thing the character needs in order to become more popular and loved.

Honestly, I'd take a film adaption of the first Injustice over the bleak snoozefest that was the Snyder-controlled DCEU. Sure there'd be another horrible representation of Superman. But at least there'd be a good one too that puts the bad one in his place. Hell, you can even let Cavill keep playing Supes. He was never the problem anyway XD

I know people complain about Injustice's portrayal of Superman a lot, but I think they forget how the original game concluded with the real Superman coming in, immediately changing the tide of the fight against the Regime, and defeating Regime!Superman.

Of course I guess when Injustice 2 stuck us with the bad guy, and that's who the comics are primarily about, it's easy to just focus on their bad portrayal of Superman.

[superduperman]

This isn't going to happen. MAYBE they will do an animated movie sometime down the line but there's no way this will be a live action, sit in the theater, movie. They're having a hard enough time maintaining the regular DCEU movies. If anything, the new Batman film will be a backdoor to a new universe. The cast would also be too big. Are they going to get Gal Gadot to play "evil" WW? Would she even agree to it? There are so many logistical issues to deal with here.

[Kuwagaton]

Agreed, animated movie if the idea really gets people going. I had a few co-workers actually bring it up today out of nowhere.

I'm tempted to get the second game tomorrow.

I hate this whole real Superman narrative. They were both real it's just one went through some life altering shit and because Superman is a stubborn idiot who believes the best in People chose to reveal his Secret identity before putting the governments of the world on notice. I know your greiving dude but WTF. Of course they were going to grab your folks. What choice did you give them. That's the one thing that fucks with me about how they portray Superman at times. That even though he was raised human they make him have blinder on when it come to human nature (he's a journalist for heaven sake!) . Meanwhile his so called friend who´s supposedly an expert instead of helping his buddy deal is play both sides hoping for best (but not putting any actions towards that front) whilst planning for the worst ( even helping it along).

Last I checked, Snyder's Superman wasn't slaughtering civilians for disagreeing with him and ruling the world with an iron fist.

Well, "real" in the sense of it being an equivalent of the standard version of Superman going up against a version that is anything but.

Batman allows all the technology entrepreneurs,Congress and living Presidents to be killed on his watch by Ras al Ghul something infinitely worse then anything the Regime did yet all anyone can remember is how bad Wonder Woman was.

That was a failure on Batman's part, but it's not like he was the one who perpetrated the act like Regime Wonder Woman may have. He just couldn't stop it.

Injustice Batman has his failings but I'm not going to hold him responsible for what a madman does. If anything, Aqualad is the most to blame.

True, but Snyder conceptually envisioned that he was one dead Lois away from becoming Injustice Superman.

[manwhohaseverything]

Well, that can be true for dcau superman as well. Furthermore, it wouldn't even take the death of lois in his case. Death of a wally west will do it. There is difference between what could happen and what is happening. Batman killed lois in that future.

One dead Lois and being mind controlled by Darkseid. People seem to really like ignoring that important bit of context.

As a gamer I can enjoy Injustice for what it is. Take the tone deaf version of Harley out and maybe put a ‘U’ instead of an ‘S’ on his chest and it’s not bad at all.
But it’s been over done. And if you look at the popularity of Metal and the Batman who Laughs, maybe it’s time for an evil Batman story instead. Balance things out a bit.

[Gaius]

Only character who’d get it worse with an Injustice movie than Superman is Wonder Woman.

[JAK]

If it's based on the FIRST game, I'm ok with it - because it hammers home that only a Superman can beat a Superman.

If that plot point isn't there, forget it.
